Lender Representation

Our Lender Representation Group is dedicated to keeping up with the constantly changing world of the banking and finance industry so that we can offer the most outstanding level of legal representation. This commitment has benefited some of Virginia’s largest banks, credit unions across the country, and many local and regional institutions.

The attorneys in the Lender Representation Group at Kaufman & Canoles make it a priority to keep informed of the myriad changes occurring in the banking and finance industry.

This is just one of the things we do that enables us to advise all sized state, regional and national banks, as well as local and regional financial institutions and other lenders.

With a reputation for creativity in advising our banking clients, our attorneys work on structuring and documenting loans in a way that meets borrower’s needs without compromising the position of the financial institution. Many lender lawyers refuse to “think outside the box,” but we do it regularly and with confidence. This helps our lender clients successfully compete for business in this competitive market. Hallmarks of our practice are successful resolutions, a tradition of leadership and the assurance that comes from experience.

Often it is the uncharted areas of the law that have to be explored carefully in order to represent successfully clients in the complex financial services industry. The Lender Representation Group at Kaufman & Canoles consists of attorneys who know how to do just that.

As we work with our Virginia, United States and foreign-based clients, we use our expertise to advise them in all aspects of commercial loan transactions such as asset-based lending and leveraged buyouts.

Kaufman & Canoles understands what is required to conduct business in Hampton Roads and in Richmond, and throughout the remainder of Virginia because of our extensive involvement in the community, and we have a track record with industry leaders that proves their trust in our knowledge and expertise.

A large part of our lending practice is committed to providing legal services in the following areas:

Senior Secured Debt Financing

Mezzanine Financing

Venture Capital Investments and Financing

Secured and Unsecured Financing

Construction Financing

Real Estate Financing

We have assisted out-of-state lenders with learning how to do business in Virginia, including rendering advice on forms and procedures that comply with Virginia law. We have also assisted Virginia-based lenders with matters of state and federal law.
